History’s first push-up bra, dating back to 1880, was on display for the first time last year at London’s Science Museum. In the 19th century only wealthy women could afford such luxuries as brassieres were considered quite rare. Most women wore corsets. Not until an appearance in Vogue in the early 1900s did the bra become commonly used…only to be burned 60 years later. Believe it or not, bras are not universally worn, especially in the non-Westernized world, like parts of Asia and the Middle East. And my apologies to the men out there, I don’t have the history and statistics behind the Bro/Manssiere.
Forget the feminists. They must all be flat-chested. I love my bras. I don’t know what I’d do without them. After all, I’m a 36D girl.
